I just heard about 10 seconds of the chorus. When she sings hold me closer tiny dancer - closer she goes super high and then Tiny Dancer is her breathy tone. Sounds ok so far 😁

Hi everyone! I was thinking that since in 4 days the first new song by Britney (and Elton) comes out since 6 years (!), it might be a good idea to sum up ideas and general rules about what charting works and how a song charts in general on the BillBoard Hot 100. BUT FIRST LEMME MAKE 1 THING CRYSTAL CLEAR: It doesn't have to be #1 and we can enjoy the song without a decent charting. HOWEVER, I think that it's such a lovely gift by Britney to even put out new music (when she multiple times said she doesn't want to work yet). The least we can do is make it a decent charting song as a sort of "thank you" towards her. With that said... How charting works: Charting works with points. Points are accumulated by several different outlets. Think about radio, Spotify, iTunes, Youtube, .... each copy sold, each single view, stream, ... collects points towards that certain song title. Together these different sources will define where a song will land on the charts. Now, I don't exactly know how the points system works but I believe it isn't evenly devided. Example: 10 radio airplays or 10 streams are not the same. 10 radio airplays, I believe, will have a higher points rate. Other Exhalers, feel free to correct and add more info and I'll update this as best as possible! The rules for Spotify: The rules of Youtube: The rules of iTunes: The rules of radio airplay: Speciality: TikTok: While this doesn't count towards points, we all know this is the way to make a song go viral concluding into more streams/plays. So I say: get your best moves and TikTok away! And at last: Just because you're not from the USA doesn't mean your streams are useless. Requesting the song on the radio, streaming, ... in your own country all helps for the charts in your own country. I myself am not from the USA but I will definitely stream the sh.t out of the song till I can't stand the song anymore. You could use a VPN to have your streams count towards the BillBoard Hot 100 however, I have read that VPN doesn't always work so I don't know whether it's true or false. Others, perhaps more IT specialists, feel free to educate me on this subject. I will try to update this post if others correct me if I'm mistaken on some parts (I don't know everything) or simply add more information. * I made this thread with all the best intentions as I only have the best for our girl.

Looks legit to me

I doubt that the Elton John collaboration will really be treated as a huge comeback like it’s being promoted by several outlets right now. I think it‘ll be similar to Tom‘s Diner or Swimming in The Stars where it’s just a cute lil song that’s going to be released. Idk I just don’t see her wanting to do a HUGE comeback right now.
